Rome at last!
Acts 28:11-31
Dr. Gregg Hagg, a seasoned pastor and theologian, conducted a two-year sermon series on the Book of Acts, which chronicles the spread of the early Christian church after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This series was designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging overview of this pivotal time in Christian history and to help congregants gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the early church.
Over the course of the series, Dr. Hagg delved into the key themes and lessons presented in Acts, such as the importance of community, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the need for boldness in spreading the Gospel message. He drew on his extensive knowledge of the Bible and Christian history to provide insightful and thought-provoking commentary on each passage, and encouraged members of his congregation to reflect on how these lessons apply to their own lives and spiritual journeys.
On July 14, 2007, Dr. Gregg Hagg covered Acts 28:11-31 in a sermon titled "Rome at Last!" This passage recounts the final leg of Paul's long and eventful journey to Rome, where he was to stand trial before Caesar. Dr. Hagg highlighted the many obstacles and setbacks that Paul faced along the way, but also emphasized God's faithfulness in sustaining him through it all. He challenged his congregation to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even when they are facing difficult or uncertain circumstances. Dr. Hagg also drew attention to Paul's unwavering commitment to sharing the gospel, despite the many challenges and opposition he encountered. He encouraged his congregation to follow Paul's example and boldly proclaim the message of salvation to those around them, trusting that God will use their efforts for His purposes.
